The availability of the animated film “Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni” (In This Corner of the World) on the streaming platform Netflix grants wider accessibility to a significant work of Japanese cinema. Its presence on the service allows a global audience to readily engage with this poignant narrative.
This wider availability offers several benefits. It provides greater exposure to Japanese animation beyond mainstream titles, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. Historically, access to international films required specific distribution agreements and physical media, limiting viewership. Streaming services overcome these limitations, allowing for a more democratic distribution of film.
